In aftermath of ICE shooting, NASW Minnesota says there must be truth, justice and accountability

In response to the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by federal agents in Minneapolis, NASW Minnesota emphasizes the urgent need for truth, justice, and accountability. The chapter condemned the violence, including the deployment of tear gas near public schools, which has left residents fearful and disrupted daily life. NASW Minnesota calls on social workers and the community to uphold facts, support impacted neighborhoods, and advocate for systemic change through peaceful action, mental health support, and community-based safety measures. They urge policymakers to halt harmful enforcement, prioritize transparency, and invest in approaches that protect and uplift communities rather than instill fear. Read the full statement here.
